“…Consequently, several pathways were reported for engineering alkane and alkene production derived from fatty‐acid metabolism. Recently, we successfully expressed an engineered alka(e)ne pathway in C. necator based on a cyanobacterial native pathway (Crépin et al, ). In cyanobacteria, two enzymes, an acyl‐ACP reductase (AAR, EC:1.2.1.80) and an aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO, EC:4.1.99.5), constitute the alkane biosynthetic pathway (Figure ) (N. Li et al, ; Schirmer, Rude, Li, Popova, & del Cardayre, ; Warui, Li, Nørgaard, Krebs, & Booker, ).…”
